With a conventional chip-shot, it would be very easy to catch the ball a bit heavy and leave the ball half-way to the cup. With a hybrid or five-wood, the clubhead simply glides through the grass.
TIPS: 1) Play it like a putt, choke down and address the ball as you would a putt. 2) Keep the clubhead low throughout the swing. 3) Make sure to carry the ball over the fringe, once on the green it will run just like a putt. 4) Use your normal putting grip.
